This place has a bunch of tasty meals, from sandwiches to monte. Reviewing the chicken sandwich, which is very good. Ciabatta bread and ingredients used are fresh and has nice garlic paste to it. Very filling, quality sandwich. I’d come here for the monta - their namesake. Had some of their monte for dinner and the monte was very tasty. 5/5 for dinner. If you are looking for a quick monte for dinner, come get it from here.

This is Monta’s second location; their original is located in Pasadena. I am so glad they are able to expand towards Glendale because If you are familiar with the location then you know this city is culturally and ethnically diverse with those of Armenian, Iranian and Lebanese decent! With that said their motto is “Better than your grandmas- She’ll agree!” Manti or pronounced as Monta is a Middle Eastern, European dish which consists of seasoned beef in small squares of dough, pinched at the ends, lined in a tray, baked till crisp finally topped off in a tomato and garlic yogurt sauce. I should’ve also ordered the their other special the Su Beoreg, a cheese dish or casserole depends on who you’re asking. But I think this would have paired well with the Monta. I just had lunch but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try something new. I called in advance and the order was ready in 10 mins, I asked for the sauces to be on the side because I wanted to try each ingredient separately prior to adding the sauces to the dish. The Monta was absolutely delightful, crispy on the out side and very flavorful inside. The garlic yogurt sauce was good unfortunately, the tomato sauce was lacked flavor. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to taste like that but it needed some seasoning salt. I personally enjoyed the dish with the sauces on the side, when I added to the Monta it made the dish soggy (But I’m sure that’s the way its originally eaten) nonetheless, I would love to come back and try the Beoreg and the Salmon Sando!

I gave a five-star rating to Monta Factory in Glendale as a gift for Sarge's wedding by driving several tense miles to get there. This was my second visit to a "factory"-named restaurant in the past three days, and I was eager to try their signature dish. I live in Pasadena, where the original Monta Factory is located on Washington Blvd. It only opens on Tuesdays, unlike the Glendale location, which opens every day. However, when I arrived at the Pasadena location this Tuesday, there was a note posted on the door stating that the restaurant was closed from February 7 to February 21 because the owner was getting married. Congratulations to them! Despite this setback, I was still craving Monta Factory's food, so I decided to make the drive to the Glendale location, which is owned by the same person. To be honest, I had never tried Monta before - I had only seen it on YouTube. I ordered a small box of Monta that contained 40 pieces arranged in 5 rows of 8 Monta, not in a foil box as I mistakenly mentioned earlier. Each Monta was much smaller than I had imagined - about the size of a chicken wing tip. Despite their size, the Monta were delicious - the shell was slightly crispy and stuffed with beef. The sour sauce was tangy and tasted great with the sour cream. Overall, the Monta were delicious and lived up to their reputation as authentic Armenian cuisine. Armenian cuisine holds a special place in my heart because of a beautiful Armenian girl I had as a classmate. She taught me about Armenian history, including the genocide, the relationship between Russia and Turkey, and the country's religion. She even taught me how to dye eggs in the Armenian way. However, even if Armenian food and culture is not your thing, Monta Factory is still worth a visit. I also tried a piece of Su-Beoreg, which was like a piece of lasagna without meat or sauce. The cheese inside was layered and tasted fantastic. The outer piece was crispy and had a great flavor. It's worth mentioning that there is another "factory"-named restaurant called the Cheesecake Factory. I had visited it just a few days before my trip to Monta Factory. The Cheesecake Factory is a fusion restaurant that offers a diverse menu, including burgers, tacos, rice, nachos, spring rolls, avocado, Korean fried chicken, and Thai BBQ. The restaurant is a representation of Southern California's multicultural fusion cuisine. Overall, I would highly recommend Monta Factory for anyone looking to try authentic Armenian cuisine. Don't be fooled by the small size of the Monta - they are packed with flavor and definitely worth the drive. I give Monta Factory five stars and look forward to my next visit.

First time eating monta. It's delicious! The people are all Wonderful too. I just wish it were closer to home! We will definitely go out of our way to return as often as possible.

Never had this type of food before but it has a good flavor. Had the small monta and a few different types of dumplings. The sauce with the monta was pretty good.

Tasty little bites! Stopped in totally on a whim and really enjoyed the Monta dumplings with the tomato and yogurt sauce. I was definitely able to finish the whole Hungry size. And the cheese bread was SO yummy. Great to know that this exists for when I am entertaining. Service was great - the staff was helpful and kind. Atmosphere was clean and updated.

Very nice location, great parking. We tried a reg size monta, the Eech salad, and cheesy Beoreg. All of it obviously fresh, and really tasty. We ordered the meat monta with the sauces (not on the side) and those sauces are absolutely slurpable…you want to cover the pieces all over with them! The filling was flavorful, the beoreg fluffy and the salad has a burst of brine flavors. Our order was big enough for the two of us (with a medium appetite), so if you’re a really hungry pair, I’d order a bit more. We’re not in the area often, but if we are - Monta Factory will be our stop. Interior clean and pleasant, and the service helpful and friendly.

Monta Factory in Glendale is a real gem! The food is amazing - every dish was packed with flavor. The service was top-notch too, making us feel right at home. Definitely coming back for more!
